Bali, for sensational mountain views from the top of Lempuyang Temple

You have to climb 1,700 steps to reach Lempuyang Temple in Bali, but it’s well worth the effort. At the top, you’ll be treated to stunning views of Mount Agung (the island’s highest peak), framed by the postcard-worthy Gates of Heaven. It’s one of the most rewarding experiences on this 12-day trip, which also includes the opportunity to snorkel with sea turtles around Gili Trawangan, swim beneath the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls and hike through the cloud forest to the summit of Mount Batur at sunrise.
